Starbucks Coffee introduces newest drinks this Summer!

The temperature outside has been rising at such lightning speed! Almost everyday, we would complain of how hot it is outside and to cool down, all the more I start craving for ice cream, shakes and I've been entertaining thoughts of going for a nice relaxing swim at the pool or in the beach (I miss you Boracay!)

It's THAT time of the year wherein I'd happily swap my staple Caramel Macchiato with a tall cup of Frappuccino any given time of the day. That's exactly what Paul and I did over the weekend when we had our regular coffee date. Instead of going for our usual orders (CM for me, Caramel Hot Chocolate for him), we tried Starbucks Coffee's newest drinks -- the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino and the Banana Mango Frappuccino. Don't they just look so yummy and refreshing?

The Banana Mango Frappuccino is a fruit juice blended drink with no caffeine in it. Therefore, even kids can enjoy this! I loved how they made use of fresh bananas mixed with the mango puree used in Starbucks Coffee's Mango Passion Frappuccino. While I wish they made use of fresh sweet mangoes too, I still enjoyed the drink and found it to be very refreshing. Definitely a perfect way to beat the Singapore heat.

Caramel lovers will rejoice over the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino which is a caramel-loaded drink. I have to admit that I found it a bit too sweet for my taste so I suggest to go Frappuccino Light and to skip the Whipped Cream too. Want it even less sweeter? Just tell your friendly barista to go easy on the syrup. What endeared me to this drink were the crunchy caramel bits sprinkled on top which reminds me of the toffee nut bits that I would happily have every Christmas.
